Oracle Launches Free Database Security Central Through Feb. 2027 as AI, Exploit Risks Rise

Summary
Oracle released Database Security Central, a new tool that gives organizations a centralized view of risk across their database environments and will be free until the end of February 2027.
The launch comes as attackers target flaws in Oracle database products and as Oracle warns about the bug-hunting AI model Mythos, which it sees as a growing threat.
Security Central is designed to assess security posture, detect configuration drift, flag privileged-user and access risks, and monitor sensitive data use while collecting audit evidence.
Oracle already accelerated patching in May from quarterly to monthly releases in response to the threat environment; the first monthly batch fixed 35 flaws.
